The way you embraced the solitude, faced your fears, and found a sense of peace is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

Thank you for reading and your kind words, Winston! I like your perspective, to look at my lockdown experience as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Beautiful words! 👏🏽

Moisturised beasts may I add 😆
There’d been mega offers in Carrefour the week before and my then boyfriend now husband had bought a whole load of stuff. It looked like we’d panic bought but we were actually just bargain hunters 😅
You were in Spain for the lockdown right? Woweee it was a toughy.
No, I moved into that flat I talk about in the chapters about a year before the lockdown. But now you made me realize that I condensed that year so much that in the story it seems that the lockdown started right after moving in. 😱🤫🤫
Well, my future editor will have fun with that haha.
Wow... I was way off in the wilderness on my farm away from the maddnes... but I was on a cruise ship in Aruba when it hit... and got off JUST in time for the last flight back.

Yes, I was living in Barcelona, quite the challenge after the first 5-6 weeks of bliss.
I can imagine! So you’d only just moved and went into lockdown?

Haha 🤣 We’ve got to keep those future editors on their toes!
We’d only just moved to our town in the 7 months before lockdown and I’d had surgery 5 months before lockdown. So it was a tough start!
Oh yes, it sounds like it. Almost 4 years ago, believe it or not. 🙄
Crazy! It’s mad how quick the time flies, though covid time was weird time, it passed at a different speed.

Lucky!
